Dendrobium lohohense

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Dendrobium lohohense faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its montane forest ecosystems are cleared for agriculture and development in its limited range. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted distribution and specific epiphytic requirements, making it highly susceptible to localized extinction events. Over-collection for the horticultural trade poses an additional threat, as this attractive orchid is sought after by collectors despite its endangered status.

Threat summary

Habitat

This epiphytic orchid inhabits montane forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters, growing on tree trunks and branches in humid, cloud-covered environments. It requires the specific microclimate conditions found in undisturbed primary forests with consistent moisture and filtered sunlight.
